Real Madrid welcome Barcelona to the Bernabeu on Sunday evening for what could be a vital El Clasico in terms of the La Liga title race.
Quique Setien's men go into the game two points clear of their rivals, with Madrid having suffered a wobble in the last couple of weeks.
Zinedine Zidane's men were beaten last weekend at Levante, having been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Celta Vigo the weekend before, and will not be in high spirits following a home defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview
These two sides met just two months ago at Camp Nou where they played out an underwhelming 0-0 draw.
It was the first goalless league Clasico since 2002 and was perhaps symptomatic of that fact that neither team has been overly impressive this term.
Madrid have had notable problems in the final third, where their lack of a clinical edge has cost them vital points, whilst Barca have also been less prolific than in previous seasons with to the absence of Suarez having impacted the team's all-round play.
Therefore, it might be shrewd to back another low scoring encounter, in a game in which both sides will be desperate to avoid defeat.
